Put into perspective, Fox is worth WAY less than Jimmy Vesey.
The Sabres paid a 3rd for his rights and then he refused to sign with them and still became a UFA.
That means that it's unlikely anyone would copy the Sabres poor choice. Add to that, Vesey was one of the best wingers in the NCAA for two seasons in a row, and he's not had any kind of pro impact at all. Fox isn't even on Vesey's level, IMO.
Fox was basically valueless if he told the Flames he would not sign. Sucks, but happens. The fact that the Flames got actual value for him is absolutely fantastic.
Personally, Fox reminds me a lot of Tim Erixon. Anybody miss him these days?
